 C.  "Blue-Eyed Boy" Sung by Miss Reba McDonald, Farmington, Ark., Feb 10, 1942.

It's true, the ring has no end,
It's hard to find a faithful friend,
But when you find one good and true
Change not the old one for the new.

Bring back by blue-eyed boy to me,
Bring back by blue-eyed boy to me,
Bring back by blue-eyed boy to me,
That I may ever happy be.
